Clearing Away the Clouds.

Many overworked Americans. mer-
chants As well rs doctors, will appreciate
the following anecdote of DR.. Matthew
Baillie, celebrated Scotch physician.
For many years he was accustomed to
devote sixteen hours day to business, u
burden Of labor which necessarily told
upon his health. and was the cause of a
painful irritability Of disposition. Con-
scious of this tendency. he tried to con-
troll it.
Frequently. when sitting down to table
after day of fatigue. he would hold up
his hands TO his family, who were pre-
pairing to welcome him. exclaiming:
Don't speak to mel" and then pres
emily, after taking a sip from his glass
and clearing the cloud from his brow, he
would look round with loving smile
and say: You may speak to me now. -
He was usually very courteous and in
dulgent to his patients. but his irritability
sometimes got the better of him.-Iouth' s
